How to scale Kubernetes: 3 factors

Source:-techrepublic.com Kubernetes is becoming the container orchestrator of choice. It even holds the ability to scale applications up with demand–if you know how to configure it. After Docker provided a small, lightweight virtual machine that could run on your laptop, Kubernetes came next to provide a real production cluster. As it turns out, running a production cluster is complex work. For example, Kubernetes does not come “out of the box” with the tools to manage scaling. In this article, I’ll

Windows containers can run in Kubernetes–but there is a catch

Source:-techrepublic.com Yes, running Windows containers in Kubernetes can work. But it’s not as simple as it seems. The operating system container, which isolates just the essential parts of the operating system that are different, is quickly becoming the standard way for organizations to build and run applications. Because container images are so small, they can be stored, tracked and versioned like any code fragment in version control. Programmers can trade them over the network like they are copying files. Because
